[Self-interest] Smalltalk phone

[kjx]

> Ran across this on HackerNews and it got me thinking how cool a Self phone would be:

ha! accidently ran thingLab on my phone a couple of days ago - 

https://constraints.cs.washington.edu/thinglab/

doing it at a low level would be really cool but lots of effort;
drawing a line (most likely just below the bytecodes)
aggressively name-mangling, and then generating the plumb-
obvious JS may get more done with less effort...

> Were coroutines and actors ever implemented in Self?

I'd say pretty much - in that Self always and threads (I can't remember 
the extent to which they're "Green" or "Red" or whatever todays
terms are) - and dynamic inheritance would be great to do actor 
behaviour-swapping...   

ahh, if only I had either students, or time (= money)
